Ignition coil NGK or Duralast
I've been running the NGK since I'm pretty sure they are the OE manufacturer. Subaru is charging crack prices for those coils.
I would get NGK, Denso or Motorcraft coils though, you don't want to cheap out on critical parts like this.
I have NGK coils and plugs on my B14NEH. No issues at all.
Get a Denso or NGK coil. You can try an auto parts store coil (do NOT get one from Amazon) and if it solves it, order the Denso or NGK.
Working well so far with accuspark dizzy and leads and no issues. I have one on my MorrisMini project as well and provides good spark.
I installed ngk coils originally and they lasted the longest ( around 8k miles before the first one went ).
Duralast coils are known to be problematic
NGKs product quality has diminished but a brand new set of 6 in and 2 of the six aren't working after about 2 months
Hola, me sustituyeron las bobinas y bujias de mi mazda CX5 2015 en septiembre 2024 y ya estan dando problemas, códigos de falla P0302 y al principio P2302 en todos los cilindros, son marca "D" duralast. Son económicas pero no duran mucho.
NGK gave me troubles on one of our old LR3s
